Inspire to Create: Simple Ideas & Easy Ways to Get Started!

by Doreen Robbins

So, I’ve been messing around with this whole “inspire to create” thing, and I wanted to share what I’ve been up to. It all started with a simple idea, a tiny spark, really.

Inspire to Create: Simple Ideas & Easy Ways to Get Started!

The First Spark

I stumbled upon some cool artwork online, and it just hit me – I wanted to make something too! I didn’t know what, or how, but the urge was there. I grabbed a notebook and a pen, the first things I could find, and started doodling. Nothing fancy, just random shapes and lines. It felt good, though, like letting something out.

Getting My Hands Dirty

  • I decided to try something a bit more concrete.
  • I remembered I had some old clay lying around from a project I never finished.
  • I dug it out, and it was pretty dry and hard.
  • I added some water, little by little, and started kneading it. It was messy, and my hands got all covered, but it was fun.
  • I squished and shaped the clay, trying to make a little figure.

The Rough Edges

It didn’t look like much, to be honest. The clay was still kinda lumpy, and the figure was wobbly. I almost threw it away, thinking it was a waste of time. But then I thought, “Hey, it’s my first try, it doesn’t have to be perfect.” So, I kept it. I put it on my desk, where I could see it.

Finding My Groove

Every day, I looked at that little, imperfect figure. And it reminded me of that feeling of creating something, of making something from nothing. I started experimenting with other things – drawing, painting, even writing short stories. Some attempts were better than others, but I kept going. I realized it wasn’t about the final product, it was about the process, the journey of making something.

Inspire Others

I shared my amateur “art” with others.

Some were not very good, but I felt a sense of accomplishment.

Keep Going, Keep Creating

So, that’s where I’m at now. Still learning, still experimenting, still making things. It’s not always easy, and sometimes I still feel like giving up. But then I remember that first spark, that feeling of wanting to create, and I keep going. And that’s what I wanted to share – that feeling, that drive to make something, anything. It’s a pretty cool thing.
